Sedimentation Rate Analysis Waters in Tegalsari Beach Fishery Port, Tegal

Tegalsari Coastal Fishing Port (PPP) is a fishing area located in Tegal City and is a port with fairly dense ship activity. With the conditions owned in the Tegalsari PPP, it makes the Coastal Fishing Port with high economic potential. Conditions that affect activities at Tegalsari PPP are the silting of shipping lanes which cause sedimentation in the port pond or in the shipping channel. Therefore, information about bathymetry and sedimentation rate is needed to facilitate shipping flows at PPP Tegalsari. The purpose of this study is to identify hydrooceanographic conditions in Tegalsari PPP, analyze sedimentation rates in Tegalsari PPP and provide recommendations for the results of sedimentation rate analysis. The data used in this study contained 3 data, namely bathymetric data, tidal data and sedimentation rate data. For data processing using Mike 21 software. The results that have been carried out in this study have varied results on bathymetric conditions and sedimentation rates in Tegalsari PPP. The results of bathymetric modeling. In existing conditions PPP Tegalsari has an average depth of 1.2 – 3.6 m, in alternative 1 it has a depth of 3.0 – 7.2 m and in alternative 2 it has a depth of 2.5 – 7.0 m. The sedimentation rate in PPP Tegalsari within the research period of 15 days, namely in existing conditions ranging from 1.095 mm/year, in alternative 1 ranging from 0.438 mm / year and in alternative 2 ranging from 0.486667 mm/year. In the results of the research conducted that the level of sedimentation conditions in Tegalsari PPP is low. Thus, at the time of sedimentation does not affect the shipping channel at PPP Tegalsari

A Chronicle of Indonesia’s Forest Management: A Long Step towards Environmental Sustainability and Community Welfare

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with 17,000 islands of varying sizes and elevations, from lowlands to very high mountains, stretching more than 5000 km eastward from Sabang in Aceh to Merauke in Papua. Although occupying only 1.3% of the world’s land area, Indonesia possesses the third-largest rainforest and the second-highest level of biodiversity, with very high species diversity and endemism. However, during the last two decades, Indonesia has been known as a country with a high level of deforestation, a producer of smoke from burning forests and land, and a producer of carbon emissions. The aim of this paper is to review the environmental history and the long process of Indonesian forest management towards achieving environmental sustainability and community welfare. To do this, we analyze the milestones of Indonesian forest management history, present and future challenges, and provide strategic recommendations toward a viable Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) system. Our review showed that the history of forestry management in Indonesia has evolved through a long process, especially related to contestation over the control of natural resources and supporting policies and regulations. During the process, many efforts have been applied to reduce the deforestation rate, such as a moratorium on permitting primary natural forest and peat land, land rehabilitation and soil conservation, environmental protection, and other significant regulations. Therefore, these efforts should be maintained and improved continuously in the future due to their significant positive impacts on a variety of forest areas toward the achievement of viable SFM. Finally, we conclude that the Indonesian government has struggled to formulate sustainable forest management policies that balance economic, ecological, and social needs, among others, through developing and implementing social forestry instruments, developing and implementing human resource capacity, increasing community literacy, strengthening forest governance by eliminating ambiguity and overlapping regulations, simplification of bureaucracy, revitalization of traditional wisdom, and fair law enforcement
